farmers to make much more informed
decisions about feeding, harvesting
and overall management, which can
help to improve efficiency. Another
area AI is helping with efficiency is in
feed management. A large portion of
operating costs are associated with
feeding and AI algorithms can monitor
growth rates, as well as feeding
patterns, to develop personalized
feeding schedules for each fish. This
feeding schedule makes adjustments
that effectively maximize biomass
while limiting waste and ensuring that
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming various industries and
the salmon industry is no exception. As global demand for seafood
continues to rise, the aquaculture sector faces many challenges, including
environmental concerns, disease management, and production efficiency.
However, AI technologies offer innovative solutions that can change
salmon farming for the better and pave the way for a more sustainable
and profitable future.
One of the first places that AI can
assist with salmon aquaculture is at
the open water pen itself. Salmon
farms generate large quantities of
information including water quality,
feeding patterns, water temperature,
behavior and overall health of the fish.
By using cameras and machine
learning algorithms, AI can streamline
fish counting and size estimation, a
job that when done manually can be
very labor-intensive and leave room
for human error. With AI, fish can
be continuously monitored, allowing
the fish receive the right nutrients for
healthy growth.
AI is also playing a crucial role in
disease detection and prevention.
Disease can result in significant
economic loss and disruptions in daily
business, as well as impact local wild
fish populations. AI sensors can track
water quality, pH, and temperature,
which can impact survival and health
of the fish. They can also analyze
fish behavior and physiological data
to identify early signs of illness. By
detecting disease early on, farmers
can take the appropriate measures by
either isolating fish or adjusting water
conditions to prevent outbreaks and
minimize the need for antibiotics.
Risk mitigation, in the general
sense, is an area where AI can shine.
Forecasting models that can predict
water changes, weather trends, and
potential disease outbreaks can
help farmers become increasingly
more proactive and adjust practices
to become more productive and
mitigate risk.
The benefits and applications of
artificial intelligence continue
throughout the process making their
